So while I was at DC yesterday we; the owner, bartender and I; were discussing the power of the bartender. How is it that you can take a guy who is a zero in a bar, but put him behind the bar and he's superman, with chicks sweating him.
I was maintaining that guys at the bar are just there. Likely there to pick up girls and hoping to score. But the barkeep is there because he has to be. He can be as charismatic, or not, to his choosing. His job is to pour drinks, NOT pick up chicks. Generally, it's to a bartender's benefit to be as friendly as possible, since it reflects in the tip.
So while discussing bartending empowerment stories Rebecca told us she sometimes gets strange requests. I figured it had to be some bizarre concoction like the "Screaming Viking" from Cheers or "The Veteran" from A Clockwork Orange or something really stupid like Bud Light with a shot of 151. So Rebecca continues, "Last Friday at the end of my shift a young couple asked me to go home with them for a threesome."
My jaw dropped. That takes guts, but I can understand why they'd ask her, looking over 5'7" of beautiful, lean, long-haired blond.
She continued, "I just told them that I was very flattered by their offer, but I don't do those things."
I didn't think things like that really happened.
